my mood today

 

 

 

 

... Has brought me back to my love. I'm designing a home right now that has me searching, studying & dreaming of the East Coast. Not gonna lie... I'm design with my heart. That might be bad to some, but I feel that's more real to me. I take every project to heart.  I feel a home is all about family & love. I adore just that... Mixed in with traditions. So that brings me back to my mood... I feel classic bones are lasting. The coastal life is captivating. Strength in a design  prevails & outlasts the trends.  I want my clients to be able to pass a pieces of furniture or even their home down to their children. I want a lasting impression for my clients. I want neighbors, speed walkers... Runners who pass a house that I've designed to stop & do a double take.  I want to make an impression on the neighborhood. Nothing that will be here today &  gone tomorrow. I understand it's great to add fun elements to a house & that's OK... But, keep the bones stable. I hope that makes sense. {smile}  1st impressions are lasting... Gotta love my mood today!

oh so pretty...

I feel kind of pretty & feminine looking at these interiors spaces. Pastels just bring the inner girl out in me. I'm drawn to the calmness & simplicity of it all. I don't think I could do it at my house {the husband} but would love to do it for my little girls room. What do you all think? Could you do it in your home?

seeing red...

I've noticed that I've started going towards red lately... Weird or totally cool? Hmmm you be the judge! I feel that red has such a strong & dominating presence about it that it just sucks you in...  

Red geraniums... Enough said! They're gorgeous! Every time I walk by a house with geranium's I can't help but, stop & smile. Then I silently say... You look beautiful darling. Grow baby grow... {smile}!

Look at these adorable plaid shorts from crewcuts {j-crew kids store}... A must for our family trip to Vermont this summer. It says watch out here I {Ryan} come! Plus, I think I'll be able to spot Ryan out & about. haha

Who doesn't love a classic gingham tie... The perfect match with blue & white seersucker pants & a crisp white oxford shirt. Done! Wrap it up... I'll take it for Little man Ryan!!!! Easter attire complete! {wink}

OK I almost melted when I saw these in the lands end kids catalogue the other day... They showed it as an Easter Basket. I love that idea. As some of you might know... I'm obsessed with Tote bags. I have so many that I think it's kind of scary... Beach bag, toy bag, baby bag, ballet bag, car bag, lunch bag, snack bag... You name it I've got it. Shhh I would have a bag that said toilet paper if I could, but I know Sean would really shoot me then! Oh even the rooster has a tote bag! Gotta represent the rooster & take that to interior design meetings.  

Ahhhh a classic Red bamboo chair at your office desk. Done! I'm in love.... I think the chair says, I make very important decisions in the chair!

Last, but not least... Don't you just love this bathroom?!?!? It screams lets play! Ok I know I'm a little dramatic, but it's just such a happy bathroom to me. I could defeintly take a bath here & feel refreshed!

My new goal working with design clients is to add a little pop of color to each room. Of course I'm all about the classic bones of a room, but it doesn't hurt to be a little daring. Don't fear color... Hey, it might just bring a little spice to your life. So do you think I'm weird or cool on seeing red? {smile}

Hope you all have a red hot Saturday!
